## Description

Amway distributors tout their business as "the best business opportunity in the world." Yet of the five million or so Americans whove been involved over its 40 year history, fewer than 1% have made a profit, and fewer than one-tenth of one percent have established the large incomes that they claim are achievable by all. Ruth Carter has written a clear, concise account based on her 15 years of experience as a distributor and five years of insider information as the employee of a Diamond. The book attacks head-on the accusations of deception, cultism, and greed which are so often leveled at the Amway business. Here at last are the reasons why, clearly explained by a former insider. Amway Motivational Organizations: Behind the Smoke and Mirrors takes a serious look at: - a real Diamonds annual income and expenses - what is the "system"? - who makes money in the system? - what is a cult? - why is Amway accused of cultism? This book is a must-read for anyone whos ever been involved in Amway, or has suffered the pain of watching loved ones change their personalities and lose their money to the deceptions of an Amway Motivational Organization. "Amway Motivational Organizations: Behind the Smoke and Mirrors" picks up where "Amway: The Cult of Free Enterprise" and "Fake It Til You Make It!" left off.

Review: A very hilarious account. - I really enjoyed reading this true story. I wish this was a movie as well. What she went through was not funny for anyone to experience. But, Ms. Carter did a very splendid job with her ability to write the course of events. It felt as though, I was there be side her: hearing, seeing, and experiencing it all. Except, I was in constantly uncontrol able laughter from the start and throughout the book. I read it a again years later; and I enjoyed it just as much as I did the first time. This is one of best stories I have ever read. I wish the movie would come out.
Review: Understand what you've missed not getting into Amway - Once I was invited by a friend go to a party at his house. To my surprise (and to 5 other friends), the event was not fun at all. There was a guy who we had never seen before, and he kept talking about achievement, dreams, victory, money, etc. Fortunately, one of my friends had been to a meeting like that a couple of week before and said: Why don't tell us you're selling Amway? I've always had a skeptical view towards multilevel-marketing organizations, and this book puts the evidence over the table.
